My motor did that just pulled off the float bowl and unscrewed the jet and sent a wire of a wire brush through the jet. solved the problem.

10w40 should be avoided UNLESS manual states otherwise. Some engine manufacturers will void warranty if it is used.

I'm running 5w-40 in some of my engines, is that a bad thing?

Ok so I removed gas line and let it flow out into a jar, a few specks of junk in tank. Removed tank,drained. Took off car a d will clean out later tonight. Thanks all !
I'm guessing all the predator engines use this ; Ruxing carb?

when cleaning the carb just trace where the fuel goes.
unscrew the bowl AND the tiny bowl/cup.
1) spray carb cleaner in the hole that the gas line attaches to, it should shoot out where the small bowl was
2) in a different side hole in the same area where the small cup was, spray that in there, it shoudl shoot out to where the needle seats from the float
3) check in the main area of the carb where the float is. Plastic shoudl be white, not amber/brown, if necessary, scrub metal with a brass brush, and plastic with nylon brush
4) check the bowl(s) the bottoms should be cllear of any black/amber/junk. Clean with brass brush
5) the center pedestal (that the larger bowl screws into) is where you will do most of your work
6) if you are lazy (like me), just undo the bowls, scrub them out, put a quick squirt in the little holes that the fuel goes through, and make sure you spray out the jet pretty well without removing it. This works almost all the time.

5) the center pedestal (that the larger bowl screws into) is where you will do most of your work
- spray out the holes in the bottom/side of the center pedestal
- if possible, use a flat head screwdriver to unscrew the jet (its in the middle of the center pedestal)
- above where the jet sits, you will see a longer tube that pokes out to the carb air intake/butterfly/choke area, push it down and out of the hole, this is the emulsion tube
- clean the jet/emulsion tube, you need to spray and or poke out the holes with a tiny brass wire

Hey , thanks everybody! got the carb cleaned up , tank flushed and replaced the fuel line from tank to carb, kinda dry rotted anyway. The smaller bowl was gunked up a bit. So now to find a good flowing air filter/spacer and exhaust header! Thanks again!!!

What does your manual say to use?
Ignoring the recommendations is always risky.
Why would you use otherwise?
